Canadian punk rockers Simple Plan are a Vans Warped Tour staple, having played there every summer from 1999 to 2005. In 2011, Simple Plan joined the Warped Tour once again treating ticket buyers to high-energy live concerts anchored by hits like “I’m Just a Kid,” “I’ll Do Anything,” and “Shut Up!” The band’s show has been recorded on two separate live albums: “Live in Japan 2002,” during their sold out run there, and “MTV Hard Rock Live.” Simple Plan returned with their fifth studio album “Get Your Head On!” in 2013, and it includes guest appearances from Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte.
Simple Plan is composed of childhood friends who got together in the early ’90s under the moniker Reset before changing names and releasing their debut, “No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls,” in 2002. The Canadian rockers have won numerous awards at the MuchMusic Awards, Juno Awards, Teen Choice Awards and NRJ Music Awards.
Simple Plan will donate $1 from each ticket sold on this tour to the Simple Plan Foundation. Established in 2005, the Simple Plan Foundation focuses on helping young people in need and showcasing the power of music as a tool to find purpose and direction in life. Since its inception the Simple Plan Foundation has donated over $2M to various charitable causes in Canada and has been awarded many prestigious distinctions for its philanthropic work
